Veteran claims PTSD in court

JOLIET — Almost three years ago, William B. Linley barricaded himself in his Bolingbrook home and fired hundreds of rounds at police.

None of the officers were hurt. But nearby homes and businesses were evacuated and the Federal Aviation Administration declared a "no-fly" zone in the airspace above the Hunters Trail neighborhood near Illinois 53.

Ten hours later, the former Marine surrendered after a police officer shot him in the arm.

Linley, 43, was charged with attempted murder, aggravated discharge of a firearm, criminal damage to state property, armed violence, knowingly damaging state property and reckless discharge of a firearm. He was taken to the Will County jail and still is being held there on $300,000 bond.
